You guys can't expect the kind of improvements you've mentioned here for 5.5. Give them a break people. There's still Bryce 6 and 7 and ... You may have waited 4-5 years but DAZ has only had the program a few months. They've had to figure out what the code was doing before anything could be fixed, updated, or added. People have been asking for an easier way to import Poser figures into Bryce and this was a major addition that DAZ could do in the time they had. Don't use it if you don't need it but for those of us who use figures in Bryce a lot ... well I for one am delighted. The render time examples were just from one person's scenes. Someone with a different machine would have different results. Just the second scene alone saw a 30% reduction in render time. That's nothing to sneeze at folks.
